Narratives of sensibility: how make the invisible visible?

In this article we share the process of creation and reflection underpinning an interventional master’s research project that mapped perceptions about/of homeless people by inviting and observing creative expression in dialogue with their daily lives. We reflect on the artistic expression of participants who use performance and orality to respond to social invisibility. The selected activity highlights the relevance of this theme and the authors’ wishes to map the affects and potential of this experience and those prompted by the recording of the experience in dialogue with cartographic intervention research. We conclude by highlighting a sensitive approach that views life on the streets through multiple lenses, the transformative potential of creative practices and the value of listening attentively to the singular and collective experiences of people living on the streets.
